I never know how well Mother could keep a trust until I was going through her things after she died. I discovered something I had 36 forgotten, something that happened to me as a child. One night, as I lay in bed 37 my sister and I had said our prayers, I recalled the events of the day and how 38 I had behaved towards Mother. “I must make things right before going to sleep,” I thought.

Love, Edie. ”I gently placed the unopened bundle in the 55 along with other things for the rubbish burner. “Lord,” I prayed, “make me like my mother. ” 36. A. longB. justC. neverD. often37.
